While hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, it remains to be seen if Old Nick's Kitchen can compare to a woman who is arrested.
According to two separate reports from the North Carolina Department of Insurance, both Tina Renee Cherry and Angie Lee Jones came up with similar plans to defraud their auto insurers.
Cherry's crime unraveled when department criminal investigators allegedly discovered that her car had become a victim of repeat vandalism in the town of Williamston, N.C. In fact, Cherry made four claims for vandalism in just four months, allegedly attempting to bilk Allstate Insurance Company for more than $5,700. For her efforts, she was charged with four counts each of insurance fraud and obtaining property by false pretense.
Meanwhile, in a town a mere 50 miles northwest of Williamston, Angie Lee Jones had concocted a similar scheme in Enfield, N.C. -- and achieved similar results.
NCDOI investigators allege that between October 2008 and September 2009, Jones filed three insurance claims that stated she was involved in two vehicle crashes and was a victim of vandalism. However, it's alleged that an investigation revealed that the same vehicle damage was used in each claim. By that point, Jones had received almost $3,000 in claim payments from GMAC Insurance Company. For that, she was charged with three counts obtaining property by false pretense and two counts of insurance fraud.
